How Much Does a Transmission Fluid Change Cost?

Transmission Fluid Change Service and Cost

What is transmission fluid?

Whether the vehicle uses it in automatic, manual transmission, or a dual-clutch gearbox, the fluid and filter (if used) must be changed according to the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance interval to protect the transmission from premature failure.

How does transmission fluid work?

Transmissions are often neglected until there is a problem. However, many problems that arise with transmissions can be prevented by simple fluid changes regardless of the transmission type. Like engines, transmissions use oil as lubricant for the many gears and shifting components used to drive the vehicle. The oil used in the transmission is constantly degrading from age, heat, crushing force, and high pressures. When the oil degrades, it becomes unfit for use in a precision gearset, and must be changed before permanent damage is done to gears, synchronizers, bearings, shafts, and shift forks.

What are the symptoms related to transmission fluid issues?

Changing the transmission fluid and transmission filter, if equipped, is typically a maintenance item, and is performed according to a schedule. Failing to properly service the transmission may lead to internal transmission failure, so changing the filter and fluid according to schedule is always recommended. On some vehicle's, the transmission service may require flushing the transmission as part of the manufacturer specific maintenance schedule, however, if debris or contaminants are noticed, the transmission will be flushed, and the fluid and filter will be changed.

Can I drive with a transmission fluid problem?

Driving a vehicle that has passed the manufacturer specified service interval is not generally recommended. The vehicle can be safely driven, but skipping maintenance may cost far more in the long run. Also, the vehicle should be taken for factory specified maintenance as soon as possible if the maintenance has been missed. If the vehicle has any transmission issues that cause drivability concerns, or the noted symptoms, the vehicle should be towed to a repair facility for diagnostics.

How often do transmission fluids need to be replaced?

Automatic transmission issues can happen anytime, to any make, and regardless of mileage or age. However, it is common to see high mileage transmissions in poor condition because of neglected maintenance. Performing factory maintenance on schedule is the best way to help prevent transmission failure, and keep the transmission shifting smoothly. Changing the ATF and transmission filter is a scheduled maintenance item for most vehicle's. Since each manufacturer may set different service intervals, check the owner's manual for information that applies to your specific vehicle. This is the best way to get accurate information, and keep your vehicle running like new.

How are transmission fluid issues diagnosed?

Transmission fluid and transmission filter changes normally do not require a diagnosis. They are most often completed as scheduled maintenance, or as part of a repair necessitating draining the transmission fluid.

How is transmission fluid replaced?

Changing the ATF and filter for many transmissions requires the transmission oil pan be removed to access the transmission fluid filter. That means the transmission pan gasket. which is the most common transmission leak, is replaced as part of the transmission service. The filter is normally a few screws at most, and the transmission pan can be replaced, and filled with ATF.

RepairPal Recommendations for transmission fluid issues

We recommend OEM quality or better replacement transmission filters, if used. Inferior filters can allow the circulation of small particles that can damage internal components in a short time. By using a quality filter, the transmission is protected from these fine particles, as they will be captured by the filter.

What to look out for when dealing with transmission fluid issues

There are many types of transmission fluids, and they are not typically interchangeable. Consulting the owner's manual for your vehicle is the best way to ensure you have the correct fluid for your transmission. If improper transmission fluid is added, the resulting damage could be severe.

Can I replace the transmission fluid myself?

The average DIYer can service most transmission without too much difficulty. The biggest issues are especially pumps for european vehicle's, and over tightening seals. As long as the proper tools are on hand, and the correct fluid has been selected, the job should be dirty, but doable.
